Abstract excerpt
The endomesoderm gene regulatory network (GRN) of C. elegans is a rich resource for studying the properties of cell-fate-specification pathways. This GRN contains both cell-autonomous and cell non-autonomous mechanisms, includes network motifs found in other GRNs, and ties maternal factors to terminal differentiation genes through a regulatory cascade. In most cases, upstream regulators and their direct...
